Waze helps with telling you where the police are hiding. It's a free gps app that uses live user feedback. I've seen some guys with high hp builds doing 2nd gear launches, not sure if it would work though.

Just get a better tire and wider wheels to support your power. Dunlop Starspec, or Michelin Pilot sports should be sufficient until your ready for slicks.

I'll have my run up on YouTube soon of my 13.3 pass with a modded 135i M-series. Funny thing is I beat him by like more then half a car but his time was better.

How can you beat someone in a drag yet their time is better ? As in you passed him after the quarter mile marker?

Logistical math question........
If you're running a race and you pass the person in 2nd place, what place are you now?

I had a higher trap and his 60ft was better then mines (I was spinning like hell) there for his calculated time was faster then mine but he definitely couldn't catch me.

I get it lol. You need better tires, he has the upper hand on launch being rwd. Your R/t was better tho, much better!

Reaction time! First one to the finish without a red light (foul) is the winner.

You're only racing the clock, unless the cars are equally matched, then it would be the drivers......
